To all whom it may concern: r

Be it known that I, J OHN S. PANASEVITGH, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfleld and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Heaters, of which the following is a specification. V

This invention relates to stoves and more.

particularly to gas stoves or heaters, such as are adapted to be used in connection with ordinary illuminating, fuel ornatural gas, and is designed to be connected with a burner or other opening in pipe's .ofhouses in any suitable way, as for instance by means of a flexible pi e.

It is the purpose of my invention to provide a portable heater whichcan be set up in any convenient place, and attached by means of a flexible or other connection with a gas pipe or burner as regularly installed in houses; to provide a gas heater which will produce a maximum amount of heat from a minimum quantity of gas, and toso construct the device that the gaswill be thoroughly consumed and throw off little or no odor, and finally to produce a heater which will afford a uniform quantity of. heat, and;

remain warm for a long time after the flame is extinguished. V I

With the above and other minor objects in view my invention resides and consists in the novel construction and arrangement of:

parts shown upon the accompanying two sheets of drawings forming a part of this specification, upon which similar characters 0 reference denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several figures and of which, 5 r

Figure 1, shows a front elevation ofmy improved heater complete. Fig. 2, is a central vertical cross section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1, showing the internal construction of the heater. Fig. 3, is a plan view of the heater with top removed. Fig. 4, is a sec. tional plan viewtaken on line 4 of Fig. 2, and with bricks removed, and Fig. 5, is an inverted sectional plan view taken on line 5 ofFig. 2, showing bottomside, ofa pair'of bricks with holes in casing registering with the holes in the bricks.

The heater may obviously be supported in any suitable manner as for instance upon legs 6, and comprises a vertically disposed oylindrical jacket 7 inclosed at its lower end 8. This jacket is provided with a series ofholes The burner is arranged within the heater and is supported upon a pipe 13 connected in any suitab e way with a service pipe (not shown) and is provided with a cook 14 whereby the gas may be turned on and on" or the flame regulated as desired.

' An inner cylindrical casing 15 is supported upon the bottom 8 and is spaced from the jacket by means of lugs 16 which are secured to the inner casing in a way to snugly retain the casing within the jacket and at'a uniform distance therefrom. The construction is such as to permit the casing together with parts su ported thereby to be drawn up and out of t e jacket for cleaning, repairs or other purposes, as may be required. The casing is further provided with a hole 17 opposite the door 11 to give access to the interior of casing from the outside when the said door is thrown open. The said casing 15 is further provided with a series of holes 18 around its upper end which are substantially opposite to t e holes 9 in the outer jacket.

- Two series of holes 28 are also provided in the lower end of the casing to register with the lower holes in the jacket, and in ractice serve to admit air to the burner and t e interior of the heater. The construction therefore provides for the admission of cold air to both the space 19 between the jacket and casing, andlikewise to the interior of the inner casing, which air in ractice is thus heated and passes up throng the heater and out of the holes 18 and 9 and likewise the holes 20 in the removable cover 21.

A plate 22 isattached to but spaced from the cover and serves in a way to cover the holes 20 and provide means to sup ort a cup or other receptacle, which it may e desired to heat.

The casing 15 contains a pair of longitudinally disposed strips 23 upon the inside, which are secured to the casing in any suitable way to form guides and a stiffening rib. An annular rest 24 is also secured within the lower portion of the said casing by means of bolts 25 as shown. This rest obviously serves to support the bricks 26 which are of peculiar construction and arranged in layers one above the other. The said bricks are of an annular design preferably constructed in two parts as shown in Fig. 5, and are pro- 9 adjacent to its upper end and two series of! vided with central openings therethrough which are larger at the bottom than at the to lhe bricks are notched in the sides as at 29 to engage the strip 23 which holds the bricks against displacement. The size of the openings are graduated in the respective bricks running smaller from bottom to top so as to insure a gradual distribution of the heat throughout. The lower edge of said bricks are provided With radially disposed grooves 27 which when the bricks are assembled as shown in Fig. 2, formholes through which the inner heat may escape. The casing is also provided with a longitudinally arranged series of holes 18' that register with the holes 27 through the bricks so as to allow the heat to escape to the annular compartment intermediate of the jacket and easing.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a gas heater of the class described, the combination of a suitable perforated annular sheet metal cylinder, longitudinally dis osed guide strips secured to the inside of said cylinder, an annular rest also secured to the inside of said cylinder, a series of pairs of bricks having notches to receive said strips and arranged one above the other to form annular layers in the cylinder with a central opening therethrough from to) to bottom, and a gas burner located beneat 1 said bricks.

2. In a gas heater the combination of a pair of sheet metal cylinders arranged onc other and having holes therein, a longitudii nal strip secured to the inside of the inner cylinder, a series of annular bricks arranged one above the other and notched to receive the strips, having radial holes therethrough to register with some of the holes in the cylinder,

and a burner situated beneath the bricks.
